10-26-05 Field Trip

More Possible Buildings to Choose From!

King Hotel
200 Lafayette St. (corner of Convention & Lafayette)



89,000 sq. ft.

Originally a hotel, then became commercial leasing for about 5 years, and has been vacant for about 15 years.

There is a tunnel located in the entry of the building that Huey P. Long used to use to avoid the media and such!











Front Lobby of the King Hotel. (Ok, so this isn't the most glamorous photo, but the building is currently vacant.)











Kress Building
Located on Third Street (between Laurel and Main)


We did not get to go into this building yet, so I should have more information at a later date.

















??????? (Don't know the Name of this Building yet)
Located on the corner of Third & Main Street




59,000 sq. ft.

We did not get to go into this building either, so check back!








Ok, This Next Building is not part of our possible choices of buildings, but the owner of the King Hotel let us view it.

Lyceum Dean Building
Located on Third Street

The Building was built in 1926 and was originally a bank, so what does every bank have?

That's right a Vault!



And yes, you are probably thinking what does this have to do with our field trip, but who cares! It was a lot of fun getting to see a real bank vault just like in the movies!


























I thought this hallway was very beautiful.
